MOTOR VEHICLES: Creates the Louisiana New and Used Motor Vehicle Commission (OR DECREASE SG EX See Note)

HB 939 merges Louisiana's Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission and Louisiana Used Motor Vehicle Commission into a single agency called the Louisiana New and Used Motor Vehicle Commission. This commission regulates businesses including new/used car dealers, parts sellers, scrap processors, auctions, and rental companies by setting licensing rules, inspecting locations, and requiring recordkeeping. A key provision gives the commission authority to take possession of vehicle titles from dealers who fail to provide them to customers, then distribute titles to rightful owners. The bill also establishes a task force for technology maintenance and creates fee structures to fund the agency’s operations.
